This document provides guidance for students on finding and evaluating information for an assignment on equity and trusts. It outlines the learning outcomes, which are to deconstruct the assignment question, create a mind map of the main topic, and plan a literature search. It includes an example of deconstructing an assessment question on trusts of the family home. It also lists some relevant keywords and case names as a starting point for research. Contact details are provided for resources and research assistance.
Trustees have both powers and duties. Their powers include selling trust property, insuring assets, compounding liabilities, maintaining and advancing funds to beneficiaries. Their key duties are to protect trust assets, treat beneficiaries equally, provide beneficiaries with account information, and properly distribute trust funds. Trustees must exercise their powers and duties with care, skill, prudence and in the sole interest of beneficiaries.
The Trust for Public Land was founded in 1972 by conservationists including Huey Johnson and Greg Archbald. Its goals were to preserve open space, operate as a self-sustaining conservation organization, create a new profession in land preservation, and pioneer new techniques. It began by working on projects like Golden Gate National Recreation Area and established urban, public, and land trust programs. Over the decades, it grew significantly in staff and land preserved, while expanding its initiatives and services. The Trust for Public Land has now completed over 5,300 projects preserving over 3.1 million acres valued at $7 billion and serving more than 10 million people.
The document provides an overview of trusts, including:
1) A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets for the benefit of beneficiaries according to the trust terms. It involves a settlor, trustee, beneficiary, and sometimes protector.
2) Trusts are created by transferring assets to a trustee during life or at death. They must have a definite beneficiary, trustee duties, and the trustee and sole beneficiary cannot be the same person.
3) Trustees must administer trusts prudently, solely in the beneficiaries' interests, and avoid conflicts of interest. Common trust types include spendthrift, QTIP, bypass, and crummy trusts used for gifting.
This document discusses the three certainties required to create a valid trust under English law: certainty of intention, subject matter, and objects. It explains that the intention to create a trust must be clear from imperative words or the substance of the document as a whole. The subject matter and objects of the trust must also be definite and ascertainable. Fixed trusts specify each beneficiary's share, while discretionary trusts give trustees flexibility to determine distributions from the class of potential beneficiaries.
This document discusses the law of trusts in different jurisdictions. It begins by outlining the four essential elements of an English trust: trust property, trustee, beneficiaries, and a deed or instructions. It then examines trusts in Japan, noting they developed differently due to Japanese concepts of family estates. China's new Trust Law from 2001 was influenced by laws from Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Anglo-American systems, and aimed to enhance China's economic development. Implementing this borrowed statute poses challenges as some principles conflict with Anglo-American trust law.
Introduction to the_law_of_trust-_law_of_equity_trusts_probate_iStudent
The document provides an introduction to the law of trusts. It begins by discussing how trusts involve the separation of legal ownership and equitable ownership of property, with legal title vesting in the trustee and equitable title vesting in the beneficiary. It then defines trusts according to various legal sources and discusses associated terms like settlor, trustee, beneficiary, trust property. It explains how trusts separate legal and equitable ownership and the nature of a beneficiary's equitable interest. Finally, it notes trusts are distinguished from other legal relationships and concepts.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Why am I here today?This session is part of the Law School staged induction at Level 6 – third year of your studies, increased expectation for independent research and critical evaluation of information relied upon in your academic work.Aim is to REFRESH you about what information resources are available to you from the library to help you answer your formal assignment question for Equity and Trusts.
The broad topic focus is ‘trusts in the family home’, appropriate quotation for the time of year!
By the end of the session today you will be able to:Deconstruct the assignment questionCreate a mind map of the main topicPlan your literature search: create your bibliography as you go along!List what information you already have to hand:lecture notes, core texts?List keywords – synonyms, broad and specific terms: dictionary/thesaurus/indexesNotewhat you are going to look for (plan, less likely to be distracted!): e.g. textbook titles, case names, journals, legislation, official publications, websites etc.Read and make notes/start writing:add to your mind map/draft an essay plan - GUIDES from the EDICReviewHas anyone made a start on looking for information to answer the assignment question yet? Yes or NoHave you covered the topic in class yet? Yes 27th OctWhen is the assignment deadline? 8th Dec (after today 35 days to complete this – work back from your deadline and plan your study time with your other commitments.)How many words? 1800 (not that many! Be selective, write concisely, look at assessment criterion – critical analysis and evaluation, not looking for simple description at Level 6.)This session today will enable you to make a start on planning your legal research.If you take some notes as we go along, these will give you a focus for thinking about what keywords/case names to search for and where to look for relevant information.TIME LIMIT - We don’t want to spend a lot of time looking for information – we want to find it quickly then use the majority of the time reading, making notes and formulating the answer. But REMEMBER research is an iterative process, that means after actively reading what you have found, you may find that the information doesn’t fulfil your requirements and you may need to revisit your keywords and your search plan and look for other alternative information to support your argument.
ACTIVITY:Mind maps are useful to get down on paper all that you know about a topic – keywords that you can use to search with.Start with the assessment question, read it carefully and pick out the key information to search for and the topic keyword, other good starting points are your lecture notes and core textbooks.
ACTIVITY: To Help you start the processSpend a minutelooking at the question and pick out the topic keywords. (+ the two key cases obvious!)Note them down if you wish – put the main topic in the centre of your page, this is the start of your mind map.
ACTIVITYWhat are you being asked to do with this topic ‘trusts in the family home’?Critically evaluate Development of the criteriaRecent case law but further assignment advice (see below) suggests it is a good idea to pay attention to previous case law and hence how the judicial reasoning has changed over time, has it become inconsistent?Would you agree with the following statement – yes or no - with reasoned answers referring to authorities (textbooks/case law – primary source of law/journal articles/official publications e.g. Law Commission reports.Development of the criteria Further advice: The assessment criteria and marking skills are set out below. You must hand in two copies. While I would expect reference the two cases in the question, I would also expect references to older cases establishing the criteria for the trusts to be considered. You should also comment on whether the resulting trust in considered more restrictively than the constructive trust and evaluate whether this would be appropriate.
This is just an example, you will be able to think of more keywords, you know more about the topic than I do!ACTIVITY – 2 minutes make a note of the key case law, can you think of other keywords or case names to addto your mind map?If you are stuck, in practice you would start looking at your lecture notes, core textbooks, dictionaries and thesauri at this point, or discuss with your friends and colleagues.DEMO – don’t want to spend too long looking for information – want to find good quality information quickly, want to spend my time reading, reflecting and writing, going to see what I can find in the remaining time.Jones v Kernott [2010] 1 FLR38Stack v Dowden [2007] UKHL 17Westlaw (look at List of Connectors for how to combine keywords) and LexisChoice of keywords and connecters (how you combine them) is yours!“trusts of the family home”“sharing homes” cohab! – in Westlaw will get all cohabitant, cohabitee, cohabiting etc
